: Crowd funding platform? I have been searching for days. Is there a good crowd funding framework that I could use as the base for a project? Something like a kickstarter clone in Ruby on Rails

From what you mention in your comment it sounds like a bug-tracking system could be the way to go. I know that the KDE Bug Tracker uses exactly the system you mentioned of "votes" to apportion to bugs/features.

However, I can't find if their software is available to download and self-host. Perhaps check some other similar software like Bugzilla and see if it meets your needs.

As DisgruntledGoat said, Kickstarter. But there is also RocketHub, IndieGoGo and Invested.in.

But I almost get the impression you are looking for something you can host yourself? If that's the case I did a quick search and came up with IgnitionDeck though it doesn't seem to be publicly available yet.

Worst case scenario you throw up a PayPal donate button somewhere.

Ultimately though your best bet is to use an already existing service. Why? People are more likely to help fund your cause through a well known name like Kickstarter or RocketHub than to donate to you directly. It gives your cause a sense of credibility unless you already have an established audience that trusts you.
